Save You

Grew up
Without your father
When your birthday came around
He wouldn't even bother to
Give you a call
Or stop by for awhile

Just a mention of attention
Would've gave you a smile

And all the while
You just crawled through the days

Livin' life kinda like
Trying to get through a maze
Filled with trap doors
Weak floors
Alleyways and sneakaways
With the new whores
Cause it's life or
Death
And you've got nothing left
You've got a job
But it don't pay rent

Break your back
Just to share the same room in
A dirty house with others
Just as fucked as you
And you
Knew
It didn't feel quite right
Didn't deserve this kind of life

Take another hit
And maybe you'll be free
From the pain and the misery
And the things we don't see
But me?
I saw you
For who you really are
I told you that you're strong
And that you're gonna go far
But you'd rather sit down and cry
You just give in to the
Loneliness that eats you inside
And i...

I know what you're going through
I'll save you if it kills me
Little girl tryin' to hide a bruise
I'll save you if it kills me
You fear there's nothing that you can do
I'll save you if it kills me
You pray to god it's over soon
I'll save you if it kills me

One night
You got tired of the fight
Decided it was time
To start livin' your life
Say goodbye to the stupid wannabe
Pushing you around,
Hurting you physically
And emotionally
That's when
You bumped into me
Pulled me up
In your tangled web of fantasies
You seemed like such a mystery
Like a shiny diamond sparkling
And glistening
But i should have been listening
To my conscience and internal reasoning
Instead of getting ahead of myself
Thinking only about my feelings
And nobody else
Well
I was just making things complicated
This apology inside of me's a little belated
By now, i hope your hate has faded
If not, i understand
I guess that's what fate is
What faith is
I'm a little faithless
I'm old for my age
And feeling a little jaded
Well that's the way it is
Well that's the way it is

I know what you're going through
I'll save you if it kills me
Little girl tryin' to hide a bruise
I'll save you if it kills me
You fear there's nothing that you can do
I'll save you if it kills me
You pray to God it's over soon
I'll save you if it kills me
It's hard to walk around in your shoes
I'll save you if it kills me
Little girl's gonna sing the blues
I'll save you if it kills me
I'll do my best to be there for you
I'll save you if it kills me
You and me, we're gonna make it through
I'll save you if it kills me

I see your face
Everywhere I go
In every place
I just
Try to forget
Try to leave you behind
Try to not think about you
Running around in my mind but
Every time I close my eyes
I see you, no surprise
I try to let you go, can't deny that
I still feel the way I feel inside but
Oh my god
I can't
I can't forget you and I
I wish I can but I just
You're always there
Under my skin, under my skin
Under my skin, under my skin
You're there
Under my skin, under my skin
I just can't get you out
Can't shake you loose
You've got a sweet face
And a sweet tooth but
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you
